Chapter 217: Good People Have Good Retribution
Chang Wen was ordered to go to the nearby village to find someone today, since General Li Wenfeng disappeared in the war, the imperial court has continued to put pressure on the border soldiers, so that they can find someone at all costs, but they have never been found, in desperation, they have to spend a lot of money to get clues, but unfortunately they have not received any relevant news so far.
There was a man in the army who speculated that General Lee had jumped off a cliff and was swept away by the rapids, and that he might now be along the stream, and it is often heard that he was the one they sent to make an unannounced visit.
Because although the situation at the border pass was settled, no one was sure that there was no detailed ambush in it, and if Li Wenfeng's loss of contact with the military camp was learned by the enemy, it would inevitably cause the other party to calculate, so they decided to look for news in the coastal villages first.
Changwen walked all the way along the riverbank, and accidentally fell while passing by a dangerous beach, resulting in more wounds on his legs, and blood flowed.
The pain is real, and the anxiety is also real, the pressure given by the capital is too great, and now the matter of finding someone is delayed again and again, which will only cause trouble.
He gritted his teeth, casually tore off the corner of his clothes and bandaged it, and stood up to continue walking.
Before he could take a step, he was stopped.
"Young man, what are you doing here?"
Chang Wen turned around with doubts, only to see an old man with gray sideburns standing not far away, with a backpack on his back, looking like a doctor.
"I am a merchant from the capital, and I accidentally got lost with my entourage and ended up here." Chang Wen frowned tightly, trying his best to restrain the unusual aura on his body, "This uncle, you seem to be a healer, can you help me deal with the wound?" ”
The old man followed his instructions and looked down, and saw the wound on his calf that was still bleeding.
After all, it is the benevolence of the doctor, although the old man does not know the origin of the common news, he is still a little unbearable to see the other party injured: "I don't have a bandage here, and there is no medicine that can help you deal with the wound, if the little boy doesn't dislike it, go to my house for a trip, although the medicine at home is not as good as the medicine in the capital, it can solve the urgent need for a while." ”
Chang Wen thanked him repeatedly.
As far as he is concerned, the wound on his foot cannot be more important, he cannot ride a horse in this vicinity, everything has to be walked on his feet, and if the wound on his leg cannot be explained and treated, if the injury worsens, the unlucky person will still be himself.
"Then it's a problem for the doctor." It is often heard.
His respectful appearance aroused the favor of the old man, and the other party not only promised to help treat the wound, but also helped Chang Wen to walk with him.
The old man's house was not far from the riverbank, and a few steps further into his yard was a small village.
It is estimated that because the war has just ended, the people in the village have smiles on their faces, and although their clothes are not luxurious, they can often feel the joy in their hearts when they go deep into it.
Guotai and the people's security are indeed the common aspirations of the people of the world.
Chang Wen sighed in his heart and walked into his house with the old man.
The other party's family background is obviously not good, most of the houses at home are thatched houses, and even the doors are broken.
"The family is poor, and I hope that the little boy will not dislike it." The old man seemed to see the surprise of Chang Wen, and said this indifferently.
"No, no," Chang Wen waved his hand again and again, and said with a sincere face, "You helped, I can't be grateful, how can I dislike it." ”
His surprise was only due to the hardships of the people living on the border.
The corners of the old man's lips curled into a smile, and after helping Chang Wen to sit down, he turned around and went to the back room to get the medicine.
When the other party helped to treat the wound on his leg, Chang Wen asked with doubts: "You are the only one in the family?" ”
The interior of the house looks like an old man alone and looks a little desolate.
"Not before, but after my two sons joined the army, it was." The old man said with a complicated expression, "Since they went to the border to join the army, I am the only one living in the house, and I don't know when they will be able to come back." ”
Unexpectedly, this doctor is ordinary on the surface, but he is a patriotic person on the inside.
Chang Wen felt a little more admiration in his heart, and then chatted with him without a match.
"It's been a long time since a young man has come to the village," the old man patted Chang Wen's shoulder with a smile, "Why don't you come here once, why don't you just have a light meal at my house and then leave." ”
Chang Wen originally wanted to refuse.
The other party's family background is obviously not good, if he stays, won't it increase the burden on the old man, he tried to refuse, but the old man didn't care about the three seven twenty-one pressed the person back to the position: "The person who comes is a guest, you are a guest from afar from the capital, how can you not entertain well, little boy, you are like sitting, I will prepare a meal for you." ”
The old man said that, and turned around and went to the kitchen without even looking at what Chang Wen reacted to.
I often hear that I am alone in the living room, and I just feel restless.
Just as he was rummaging through the valuable items on his body and wanted to leave them to the old man, he suddenly heard a faint voice from the inner room.
The voice was like the groans of a seriously ill person, and it was like the whispering of a dream.
The old man was not there, and no one could answer his curiosity, so Chang Wen went to inspect it himself, and saw a person in the inner room.
"General!" Chang Wen threw himself to the side of the bed, looking at the coma in bed with a concerned face, and his heart was like a knife, "I can be regarded as finding you!" ”
The man on the bed did not react to his words, but the voice was too loud to attract the old man who was cooking.
Seeing the reaction of Chang Wen, he raised his spatula and began to be vigilant: "Aren't you a businessman?" ”
Chang Wen waved his hand again and again: "Old man, listen to me, I'm not a bad person." ”
Then he roughly told the old man the reason for his appearance here, and asked the old man Li Wenfeng the reason for his appearance: "The general is in a coma, and his injuries seem to have been properly treated, so you must have saved him, right?" ”
The old man nodded with a complicated expression: "Not bad." ”
He told Chang Wen that he was Li Wenfeng who was picked up by the riverbank.
At that time, the old man didn't want to save people, but after seeing the armor on the other party's body closely, he remembered the two sons he served, and he was moved by compassion.
"Judging by your reaction, it seems that his origin is not small?" The old man looked at Chang Wen suspiciously.
Not only is it not small, Li Wenfeng is a general that the emperor of the current dynasty attaches great importance to!
Recently, there have been constant movements at the border gates, just to find his traces.
Fortunately, he found it, otherwise Li Wenfeng would have fallen into the hands of the enemy whether he died or lived, and it would have been a huge loss to the country.
"I can't tell you his identity for the time being, I can only say that he has an extraordinary background." Chang Wen frowned and said to the old man, "He is still in a coma, and I am injured again and cannot take people away for the time being, so please take care of him during this time, and keep it secret by the way." ”
The old man nodded again and again when he heard this: "I understand, I won't tell anyone about him casually." ”
Chang Wen got a satisfactory answer, and his expression eased slightly.
He then left the village wounded and went to the nearest nearby stronghold to deliver a message to the capital.
The news that Li Wenfeng was found soon reached the ears of King Li, it was late at night, he was worried about the matter of building weapons, and after getting the news, he forgot everything, and went to Beijing overnight to report to the emperor.
"Are you sure the person you found in the border village is General Lee?" The Emperor's eyes were bright and bright, and he was obviously genuinely happy about this.
"It's true!" King Li said respectfully, "The minister's subordinates really saw General Li in Xiaogang Village, but he has no way to bring General Li back for the time being. ”
The emperor frowned puzzled and asked, "Why can't you bring people back when you find them?" ”
King Li showed a worried look on his face: "He sent a letter to report that although General Li was found, he was still in a coma, and his injuries had not yet healed, Your Majesty, as you know, there are no doctors with excellent medical skills in the small border villages, and even medicinal herbs are rare, so it is very difficult to save General Li's life, so there is no need to talk about treatment." ”
The emperor was anxious: "We can't let General Li stay in the small village all the time, you also said that there is no doctor with excellent medical skills in the small village of Bianguan, how can he recover from his injuries there?" ”
Li Wenfeng has meritorious service to the country, and the emperor does not want him and the soldiers to feel cold.
"You will leave for Xiaogang Village tomorrow to pick up people, and by the way, bring a few imperial doctors, I want you to save General Li at all costs!"
King Li's face changed slightly when he heard this.
The border is not a good place to go, there are many fish and dragons there, maybe there are people from enemy countries lurking, if you go there yourself, won't it be difficult to ensure safety?
He didn't want to go.
The emperor seemed to see what he was thinking, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Brother Huang, what do you mean?" ”
King Li didn't dare to say what he thought directly, so he only dared to tell the emperor in a roundabout way: "Brother Li feels that it is not appropriate for me to go to Xiaogang Village to pick up people, Brother Huang, you know, ministers rarely leave the capital, and they are not familiar with the environment of the deep mountains and old forests. ”
Before the emperor showed a displeased look on his face, King Li hurriedly added: "But for the matter of picking up people in Xiaogang Village, the younger brother has a candidate in his heart, and that is General Lu!" ”
General Lu in the court is only Lu Li.
Not to mention Lu Li's wife and children, just his military exploits, he just came back from the border pass, would it be inappropriate to send people away so quickly?
"Why do you think General Lu is the best candidate, give me a reason."
"Because General Lu is relatively familiar with the situation over there," King Li slowly said his reason, "Didn't he just cross the mountains and forests to return to the capital some time ago, maybe he is also familiar with the situation over there, plus General Lu and General Li are relatively familiar, with him protecting the wounded General Li, the court can rest assured, right?" ”
The emperor did not agree, but he did not deny it: "Are you sure that General Lu will pick up people and be able to bring them back safely?" ”
King Li nodded without hesitation: "General Lu has always acted prudently, and there will definitely be no mistakes in picking up people this time." ”
The appearance of his sworn oath made the thoughts in the emperor's heart begin to waver.
Although it is indeed contrary to the way of employing people that Lu Li was sent out before he had a long rest, but at the moment there is no one more suitable than him, or Li Wenfeng's life is more important, and it is a big deal to reward Lu Li afterwards.
"Mr. Zhao." The emperor turned his head and instructed the chamberlain, "Immediately order someone to go out of the palace to invite General Lu, just say that I have something important to ask him to come over to discuss, let him come over as soon as possible." ”
The chamberlain agreed, turned around and hurried out of the imperial study.
